rival is just not the word. Fuck an online dictionary, look at any dictionary and it will parallel the same thing unless it was written by idiots. Long distance ENEmies is more accurate. Your real rivals are up there and their real ones are down here. They are not of concern to you unless they go to your land and vice-versa. Yes you are programmed to hate them, but that doesnt mean you feel a real rivalry with them like you would with the "northern sureno" dudes in your backyard. Believe this, 18 street is way more hated down here than any Norteno set. Now THOSE are rivals to nearly every hood down here. If cholos were really down here fighting to run the state 24 hours a day and they felt you were a threat to their hood, then maybe I could see it as a rivalry. They have nothing to prove to you plain and simple. Let's be honest now, there is no way in fuck the dudes down here are gonna use that word when they refer to people from long distance gangs they wont meet until they get locked up.
